Reach is one factor but I would not count Liddel out, especially if Andre came down in weight to fight him. The first time I saw Andre fight I knew he was something special, his poise was just unreal. Floating around the ring just picking people apart. But he has run into trouble with Sylvia.

This is true. I guess it's insane to count Liddell out of any fight. Your right about that.

Sylvia is a monster. He is young, big, has good hands, but most important...he's hungry. I think Arlovski and Slyvia are pretty matched....but at the same time, I think Slyvia is way better at moving around the ring.

Tim Slyvia is way too clumbsy. He is so friggen lucky to have that belt. I don't know what happened to Andre but wow. He should have destroyed Slyvia!!

Andre would murder Liddell in a match! That boy is crazy!

I am looking forward to seeing George "The Rush" St. Pierre vs. Matt Hughs. Thats going to be worth the money right there. I think George can take him. George got caught with a weird arm bar last time. Geogre won't make that mistake again. Bank on it!

Yes, Slyvia is clumsby, but he has heavy hands.

So you think George will beat Matt? I will never take anything away from that crazy french canadian, but Hughes is a powerhouse, has a lot of talent, and heart. He also seems to be improving on his standup and ground game. The ground is natural for him since he is a wrestler. Not to mention, he's as quick as a waterbug. I perdict a few slams to take the energy out of St. Pierre, then a submission.

That would be my guess. But, at the same time.....George is coming up fast. I have watched just about everyone of his fights. The dude is awesome.

George is improving his stand up game he already has a few ko's under his belt. I was so glad when he beat BJ Penn. George deserved that win. Man, Matt is one of my favorite fighters right after Rich Franklin! I agree with you about Matt being a power house. He has a great ground game as well. Lets not forget this is Georges play ground is on the ground. Plus, George is fantastic on his back not many guys are!! Matt needs to consider that. Either way we both know this is going to be a ground and pound fight.

I can't wait to see Diago Sanchez get his head knocked off!! I hope he fights Matt Hughs or George St. Pierre on day. Then he will know the meaning of ground and pound!!

I can't stand that as$ hat! Diago drives me nuts!! Same with Chris Leban. That guy needs another serious pounding. If Diago wants to trash talk then back it up. I would like to see Diago Fight Tito Ortiz!!! The KING of trash talk!! Casue we all know Tito can back it up.

Better yet:

I was reading that maybe later this fall Rich Franklin might return back to the ring after breaking his hand and foot during his last match.

I'm glad the UFC brought in a new light weight class. Those guys are neat to watch. Man they are fast.

I watched UFC last night. Tito couldn't take Griffen down. Bwhaha. He did a few times though, but all he got was elbows. Tito was too busy dodging fist to get anything done. He bloodied up Griffen a little, but that's nothing to him. They both got in some good shots. It was a close fight IMO.

Griffen needs to eat more and lift some heavy weights to put on some mid torso muscle/arm muscle. I think if he'd quit running out in that desert in those Xience commercials, he might put on some weight.
